@dfn{Pairwise kerning} is another subtle typesetting mechanism that
-modifies the distance between a glyph pair to improve readability. In
-most cases (but not always) the distance is decreased.

@iftex
For example, compare the combination of the letters `V' and `A'. With
kerning, `VA' is printed. Without kerning it appears as `V@w{}A'.

-Typewriter-like fonts and fonts for terminals where all glyphs have the
-same width don't use kerning.
+Monospaced (typewriter-like) fonts and terminals don't use kerning.
